The Dutch Gastrointestinal Symptom Tracker for People With Cystic Fibrosis: Associations With Anxiety, Depression, and Health‐Related Quality of Life
This is the first study investigating the link between GI symptoms assessed by the Dutch GI Symptom Tracker and anxiety/depression and HRQoL in Dutch pwCF. More GI symptoms were associated with higher anxiety and depression scores and worse HRQoL. Additional research is needed to better understand how mental and physical health are linked in GI symptoms in CF.
